Call 703-763-0923 for Advice About the Modification of a Family Law Order
Modification of any continuing obligation can be ordered by a court if you can show that a material change in circumstances has occurred. As your attorneys, our first job will be to advise you whether the change in your situation is likely to be substantial enough to justify seeking an order for modification.
Assuming that the changed circumstances represent a big difference in one party's needs or the other party's ability to pay, we'll go right to work gathering and organizing the evidence needed to present in court.
Examples of the kinds of changes that can support a modification of current child support, child custody or spousal maintenance orders include:
- Loss of a job
- Incapacity of the primary custodial parent
- Medical problems or other special needs of a child
- Injury or disability of a person paying child or spousal support
- Cohabitation or remarriage of a person receiving spousal support
- Change in work hours or assignment requiring change in a visitation schedule
- Significant job promotion or other salary increase of at least 20 percent for either parent
